Although 3D printing has various functions in a variety of industries, but in the medical device industry 3D printed medical devices have four main applications. Firstly, 3D printed medical devices are used for bio-printing tissues and organoids. Secondly, 3D printed medical devices are also used for surgery preparation by creating patient-specific organ replicas than can be practiced upon by the surgeons before performing complicated operations. Thirdly, 3D printed medical devices are used for producing surgical instruments like forceps, hemostats, scalpel handles, clams, etc. Fourthly, 3D printed medical devices enable formulating customized prosthetics.
One of the main benefits of 3D printed medical devices is that production costs are significantly low than the traditional manufacturing methods. Rapidly growing medical device industry continues to recognize the additive value 3D printed medical devices for various medical applications. 3D printed medical devices now constitute of new surgical cutting and drill guides, prosthetics, orthopedic implants, patient specific replicas of bones, blood vessels and organs.
As per a study conducted by Wohlers in 2015, medical industry constitutes 13% of the 3D printing revenue. More than 20 different 3D printed medical devices have been approved by the FDA. Medical applications of 3D printed medical devices are rapidly expanding and are expected to revolutionalise health care.
3D printed medical devices Market: Drivers and Restraints
3D printed medical devices, now-a-days gaining huge popularity all over the world. The growing demand for the 3D printed medical devices because of huge advancement in healthcare sector with increasing use of 3D printed medical devices for organ transplantation. Also, the advantages offered by 3D printed medical devices such as the surgical models based on patient need, surgical tools, organs and tissues. Complex features like prosthetics are very difficult to manufacture through conventional technique. But using 3D printing technology, patient specific prosthetics are being manufactured based on the image reports (MRI, CT-scan, X-ray), which in turn reduces the overall cost. Also 3D printed medical device acts as a surgical guides because it helps to maintain the accuracy and precision of a surgical procedures, which would generate high demand in healthcare sector. Other drivers of the 3D printed medical devices market includes technology and software advancement.
